Reader's Guide
The league operates as one of five Regionalligas at the fourth tier. Promotion to the 3. Liga is determined by a system that varies by season; for example, in 2018–19 the champion of the Regionalliga Nordost (Chemnitzer FC) was promoted directly, while in 2020 the champion entered a play-off. The league is administered by the regional football associations, not the DFB.
